Objectiye To reveal epidemiology of malignant tumor in Quanzhou area of Fujian province. Methods Medical record of adults who received health check-up between 2006 and 2010 was collected to estimate the incidence of malignant tumor. Chi-square test was used for data analyses.Results Nearly 12 323 individuals received an annual health check-up during 2006 and 2010,177 of whom were found to have malignant tumors. The identification rate of malignant tumors was 2. 87‰ per year, and the most commonly seen cancer included liver cancer ( 42. 93% ), lung cancer ( 20. 90% ), oesophageal cancer (9. 03% ), cervical cancer ( 8.47% ) and gastric cancer (6. 78% ). Those of 60 to 70 years old showed the highest incidence of cancer. Conclusion Annual health check-up may be helpful to identify early-stage malignant tumors.

Objective To observe the effects of Dong's Extraordinary Acupoints acupuncture and rehabilitation on upper limb spastic hemiplegia after stroke. Methods 105 patients with upper limb spastic hemiplegia after stroke were randomized into 3 groups as groups A, B, C equally, and receiving Baclofen and rehabilitation training, acupuncture at Dong's Extraordinary Acupoints, and both acupuncture at Dong's Extraordinary Acupoints and rehabilitation training for 8 weeks, respectively. They were assessed with China Stroke Scale (CSS) and modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) before and after treatment Results The CSS and MAS scores obviously improved after treatment in each group (P<0.01), and improved more in the group C than in the group A and B for CSS (P<0.05). Conclusion Both acupuncture at Dong's Extraordinary Acupoints and rehabilitation can improve the neural function and upper limb muscle tension in patients with upper limb spastic hemiplegia after stroke, with the synergistic effects.

Objective To evaluate right ventricular(RV)function by tissue Doppler imaging(TDI)and Tei index in patmnts with coronary artery disease(CAD).Methods One hundred twenty patients who underwent coronary angiography(CAG)were enrolled.Based on clinic evidences,such as CAG,disease history,symptom,ECG,and myocardial enzymes,all patients were divided into three groups:control group,angina group and myocardial infarction(MI)group.TDl was performed on the lateral and septal tricuspid annular.RV Tei index was obtained either from the pulse-wave Doppler(PW-Tel)and from TDI(TDI-Tei).Results There were significant differences in RV PW-Tei,TDI-Tei,Ea,and Ea/Aa among three groups.PW-Tei was 0.363±0.086.0.463±0.078 and 0.569±0.066,and TDI-Tei was 0.400±0.058,0.520±0.078 and 0.628±0.059 for the control group,angina group and MI group,respectively.Ea and Ea/Aa were gradually decreased following the severity of CAD.Sa was no difference between the control group and angina group,while Sa was much lower in mvocardial infarction group than in other groups.RV PW-Tei had a good correlation with the lateral and septal TDI-Tei.The lateral and septal TDI-Tel were significant correlated with motion velocities.Conclusions TDI can be used to comprehensively evaluate RV function in patients with CAD.TDI-Tei can sensitive reflect the damage level of overall RV function in patients with different degree CAD.

Objective To analyze recent 30 years’ regularities in point selection for acupuncture treatment of Parkinson disease and provide reference for its treatment. Methods Parkinson disease, parkinsonism and acupuncture were used as key words. Recent 30 years’ Chinese literature was searched using Wanfang, CNKI, VIP and Chinese biomedical literature database. Selection of main acupoints and scalp acupuncture points, syndrome differentiation-based point selection and meridian tropism of main acupoints were metrologically studied. Results The Du meridian, the large intestine meridian and the gallbladder meridian were mainly selected for acupuncture treatment of Parkinson disease. Taichong(LR3), Baihui(GV20), Hegu(LI4) and Fengchi(GB20) were used as main points. Chorea-tremor control area, motor area and parietotemporal anterior oblique line were often selected as main scalp acupuncture points. Fenglong (ST40), Qihai(CV6), Sanyinjiao(SP6), Yinlingquan(SP9) and Zusanli(ST36) were often used according to syndrome differentiation-based point selection. Conclusion Modern acupuncture doctors select Taichong(LR3), Baihui(GV20), Hegu(LI4) and Fengchi(GB20) as main points, often use scalp acupuncture points and combine points mainly from the Du meridian according to syndrome differentiation in the treatment of Parkinson disease.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum cystain C,urinary neutrophil gelatinase?associated lipocalin(NGAL),uri?nary kidney injury molecule?1(KIM?1)and preeclampsia,and explore the value in predicting preeclampsia and early kidney damage. Methods A total of 30 cases of pregnant women with severe preeclampsia,30 cases of mild preeclampsia and 60 cases of healthy pregnant women admitted in the Second Hospital of Jilin University from October 2014 to July 2015 were enrolled for the study. ELISA was performed to check urinary KIM?1 and urinary NGAL,and the serum cystatin C was detected by immune turbidity method. Results KIM?1,NGAL,serum cystatin C in the preeclampsia were significantly higher than the normal control group(P<0.05). In addition,with the development of their concentrations,the progression of pre?eclampsia gradually rise;BMI,e?GFR,urine protein/creatinine ratio,KIM?1,serum scystatin C and NGAL are the risk factors for preeclampsia;uKIM?1,serum scystatin C and NGAL and combined predictors of preeclampsia are taken as the early indicators of renal injury,which sensitivity are separately 83.3%,75%,88.9%,96.8%;specificity are respectively 72.7%,70%,75.6%,86.4%. Conclusion KIM?1,serum scystatin C and NGAL may reflect the progression of renal injury in preeclampsia .Combined predictors have a higher predictive value in the early renal injury of the preeclampsia.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of renal insufficiency and its associated factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus with normoalbuminuria using estimated glomerular filtration rate ( eGFR) .Methods We retrospectively analyzed 10-year data of chronic complications in type 2 diabetics in-patient from the Chinese Diabetes Society.eGFR was estimated using the equation from Modification of Diet in Renal Disease(MDRD) study.The clinical characteristics as well as associated factors for low eGFR were analyzed among the normoalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients.Results A total of 1351 type 2 diabetic patients were included, 755 patients with normoalbuminuria, 466 patients with microalbuminuria and 130 patients with macroalbuminuria respectively.Among the patients, 310 (22.9% ) had low eGFR (GFR <60 ml · min~(-1) · 1.73 m~(-2) ) , 19.7% (149/755) in the patients with normoalbuminuria, 21.9% (102/466) in microalbuminuria and 45.4% ( 59/130 ) in macroalbuminuria Patients with normoalbuminuria and low eGFR suffered more chronic complications than those with normoalbuminuria and normal eGFR, mainly retinopathy, cerebrovascular diseases and sensory neuropathy.Stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed that age ( OR = 1.042, P < 0.001), diabetic duration ( OR = 1.038, P = 0.045), systolic blood pressure (OR = 1.017, P < 0.001) were independently associated with renal impairment among the patients with normoalbuminuria.Body mass index ( OR = 0.868, P < 0.001) and HbAlc (OR =0.898, P =0.021) were also related with renal insufficiency.Conclusion A considerable proportion in type 2 diabetic patients without albuminuria may exist renal impairment, and eGFR estimation could benefit the evaluation of renal function in such patients.
